About this listen

Learn Irish with TYM

Learn Irish with TYM is a two-part weekly podcast series designed to help learners build real, practical Irish through engaging content and a structured method. The podcast is available on all major platforms, allowing Irish language learners to add it to their playlists and listen on the go.

These platforms not only give learners easy access to Irish content but also help introduce the language to new audiences. They serve as a powerful entry point to our innovative TYM – Learn Irish app, available on iOS and Android. The app is where learners get the full benefit of the TYM Method, making the Irish language more accessible, enjoyable, and effective for everyone.


Freagairt le TYM (Reaction with TYM)

Each cycle begins with Freagairt le TYM, where we present six short news stories using the TYM Method. This episode introduces learners to new vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation in context, delivered through slow, natural narration by Orlaith (AI).

TYM Method - Each story comes with:

- Full transcript

- Sentence-by-sentence English translations

- Syntax breakdowns

- Useful Phrases

This format is ideal for learners at A2 level and beyond.


Comhrá le TYM (Conversation with TYM)

The following week, Comhrá le TYM builds on the material introduced in Freagairt. The same news stories are transformed into a natural conversation using the TYM Method between Orlaith and Colm (AI). This back-and-forth dialogue reinforces familiar language while introducing new phrases and expressions. It is especially helpful for developing listening and conversational skills in real-life contexts.


How They Work Together

Freagairt le TYM and Comhrá le TYM are designed to complement each other and create a continuous, reinforcing learning loop:

- First, learners are introduced to structured content in clear, manageable segments.

- Then, they revisit that content in a more natural, conversational setting.

Over time, the series will introduce targeted grammar themes, such as nouns in Freagairt and verbs in Comhrá, helping learners build a solid foundation before moving on to more advanced topics.

Whether you're just starting or refreshing your Irish, this podcast series makes the language accessible, practical, and enjoyable, one week at a time.
